Line 85:
* [[Hot Chick With a Sword]]: The show is all about hot women with weapons, but the personalities who fit the trope would be Tomoe, Alleyne, and Claudette.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: The original books and related merchandise, the original line was only [[Ecchi]], but later editions really cranked up a few notches in the [[Fan Service]] department, arguably becoming borderline [[Hentai]].
* [[Improbably -Female Cast]]: Given the target audience and premise of the franchise, this is not surprising; still it's worth mentioning if one wants to take the story a bit seriously. There are only a few remotely significant male characters in the ''whole franchise'', and even so they are basically token motivations (Owen and Count Vance) or enemies (Delmmore) for the female characters; basically if a man isn't a [[Satellite Character]], he will definitely be a [[Cannon Fodder]], a [[Mook]], a [[Posthumous Character]], or any other defining role that clearly denotes how useless and unimportant he will be within the story.
* [[Intro Dump]]: The first episode of season two has Nanael listing pretty much everybody to quickly bring the audience up to speed.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Excluding named males, secondary characters, and the licensed characters from ''Queen's Gate'', there's about 19 named characters that appears in both the gamebooks and the anime series. The sequel, ''Queen's Blade Rebellion'' adds another ''12 new characters'' (and counting), and that's ''excluding returning characters.'' So, including the prequels, there's about '''31 named heroines''' to this date.
Line 108:
* [[Numerical Theme Naming]]: All the angels from the Queen's Blade universe (excluding Layla from QB Rebellion) are named after numbers in Latin and ending their names with the Hebrew ''-el" suffix. For some odd reason, Nanael and Hachiel have their names beginning with Japanese numbers (seven and eight, respectively) instead.
* [[Panty Fighter]]
* [[Perpetually -Shiny Bodies]]
* [[Perspective Flip]]: ''Hide & Seek'' is about Elina's [[Stern Chase]] of her sister
* [[Playing to The Fetishes]]: Oh, boy...
Line 128:
** The third Rurou no Senshi omake shows Claudette having similar desire towards Elina. In the manga, she becomes jealous over Elina fighting to be with Leina [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/queen_s_blade_hide_seek/v04/c016/20.html instead of her!] And, according [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/queen_s_blade_hide_seek/v04/c020/5.html to this], Elina has the hots for her too! She's even drooling!
* [[Show Some Leg]]: Everyone, but Risty gets a special mention since her thong/crocs combo shows the most (i.e. everything).
* [[Shout -Out]]: The game ''Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos'' includes many shout outs from many mecha anime ([[Gundam Seed]], [[Gundam Wing]], [[Great Mazinger]], [[Super Robot Wars]], etc.) and some non-mecha too ([[Fist of the North Star]], [[Tales of Phantasia (Video Game)|Tales of Phantasia]], [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Guilty Gear]], etc.) Justified, because the game was programmed by Banpresto, the creators of the [[Super Robot Wars]] series.
** Also, if you press the Select + Start buttons together to activate the Panic Mode, in the first game, you will see Leina in a 8-bit RPG game [[Dragon Quest]]-style and in the sequel, you will see Jean and Maron (the new [[Original Generation|original character]]) parodying [[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]] instead.
** Many stages from the ''Queen's Gate Spiral Chaos'' game are named after episodes or titles from other anime series, mainly from the [[Mecha]] genre, like [[Mobile Suit Gundam|"Blood-sucking Princess of Sorrow"]]<ref> 哀・吸血姫, a parody of 哀・戦士 (Soldiers of Sorrow), one of the most famous songs of that series.</ref>, [[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|Booby Trap]]<ref> Named after the first episode of the series</ref>, [[Haruhi Suzumiya|The Melancholy of]] [[Moetan|Ink]] and {{spoiler|[[Mobile Suit Gundam|Weiss' Ambition.]]}}<ref> Named after the game Mobile Suit Gundam: Ghiren's Ambition</ref>
